Collins Cover Announcement 

Gila Monster

A colorful and exciting cachet makes its debut as the third cover in my Sonoran Desert series. It joins the previously announced saguaro cactus/elf owl and desert tortoise. In the foreground is the colorful but dangerous gila monster while keeping their distance are two boar-like peccaries. This is a very eyecatching Sonoran wildlife cachet, and I'm very pleased to announce this desert FDC featuring the gila monster. Item #N3008. $12.25.

Set Introduction

Sonoran Desert Wildlife

Set of 10 - Available at one per month

To achieve a realistic sense of the desert habitat of these animals, I've illustrated several varieties of cactus and other desert plants. In addition to Sonoran vistas I also captured in the hand painted cachets a dazzling sunset (owl), a breaking dawn (mule deer), and a picturesque western sky pastels (tortoise). The stamps in this habitat set of ten are all attractive, and each of the wildlife cachets is very realistic as a result of the hand painting on each and every one of them.

Although the enclosed photos will give you a good idea as to the quality of these cachets, the actual colors are more vivid and lifelike. The copies cannot capture the intricate details and artistic craftmanship of the covers. I'm very anxious for you to see them for youself.
